Pours a murky orange with soft head.
Smell is juicy, herbal and dank. Notes of melon, orange juice, peach and grass.
Taste is juicy, herbal and dank. Notes of melon, grass, citrus and peach. Mild bitterness and a bit boozy.
Mouthfeel is meidum, soft, pillowy and well carbonated.
Overall, a very nice DIPA, a bit too boozy maybe.

2 months old. Can to wine glass.
L: Pours a full and hazy light yellow with a pillowy white head that is quite stable and dissipates after while leaving a good amount of lacing. No floaters.
S: Candied citrus fruits mixed with resinous, piny notes and almost tobacco-like hints of licorice.
T: Resinous and woody. Notes of candied grapefruit and tangerine. Honeydew sweetness. Hoppy bitterness.
F: Full and smooth at the same time. Soft carbonation. Slightly sticky and minimally zesty.
O: The wild mix of woody and citrus fruity notes creates an incredibly complex and unusual IPA with a fantastic mouthfeel and a beautiful look. Great craftsmanship here. Outstanding beer.
